Abstract

Magic, Ritual, and Witchcraft was founded exactly a decade ago, in 2006. Up to this point, issues have come out twice yearly. From the outset, the primary concern of the editors has been keeping standards high, and we have published only the best of our received submissions. Lately, however, so much of the incoming material has been high quality work of major interest that we have found ourselves wanting more space to put it in. Thus, we take great satisfaction in announcing that this issue opens the journal's first triannual year. Guest editors Elizabeth Sartell and Shandra Lamaute have assembled this first issue of 2017, Characterizing Astrology in the Pre-Modern Islamic World, gathering up important new work on Islamic astrology in the medieval and early modern periods. Astrology proves a fruitful line of focus because it is just as firmly embedded in scientific and technological disciplines as it is in religious and esoteric ones. The articles collected here explore different aspects of an important nexus of intercultural and interreligious connection, showing in different ways how knowledge is formed and spread by a multiplicity of cultural processes. In future issues, we look forward to a more vigorous collaboration with
